Roses are red, bases are Bluebell

Hey all,

Having a bad day so I'm staying up to write this post. I had such a great Monday (met my first blogger in real life and had such a fun day) then Tuesday arrived and thumped my great mood into the ground.

Anyway on to the post. I've been trying out my new stamps to see how well they really work. The rose design was the one I was the most excited to try but it turned out to be a bit disappointing. It doesn't stamp out 100% so I'm missing bits and pieces of the design. The index is pretty much perfect and the ring is fairly close. The rest are fairly atrocious though.

For my base I picked out Nails Inc Bluebell, 2 coats. I actually did not like this at all when I first got it but I am starting to like it. For the stamp I went for Nail the bytch lick or ish bytch. The stamp is from the born pretty plate m65 (which I ended up losing. I also lost the stamper) I topped it off with a coat of the Essence gel look topcoat. I think Bluebell makes a great base for stamping. Definitely would have used Bluebell more often if I hadn't lost half of the fecking kit :(

Aww, so sorry to hear you're having such lousy times :( Feel better soon!*

About the mani, have you used this same polish for stamping before? Did it, err, work? Because not all are all that great for stamping (as you probably already know of course). Dunno. Hope it's not the plate's fault, 'cuz the design really looks so lovely.
